Check Point Harmony Mobile Reviews

Mobile security, on top of MDM, is the primary use case. Some clients use mobile device management, and we provide additional common security capabilities. This includes vendor locking, where the end solution restricts access to corporate resources based on app management. Check Point does this very well, without issues on mobile devices. There aren't many players in this space, so it's a good, stable solution. You get the results you expect, and it's very quick to set up (around 5 minutes).

While it's great, there's always room for improvement. Adding capabilities for automatic deployment in an enterprise environment would be useful. Also, the ability to see licenses per mobile device would be handy.

So, in future releases, the ability to see the environment and licensing per device would be good.

I have been working with this solution for three years. It's the best solution I have at the moment.

I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. 

It is a scalable solution. I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. We have enterprise-level customers. 

The solution doesn't require much support. 

I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.

The management console is on the cloud. The deployment takes around five to ten minutes. 

For the deployment process, you basically create your account in the Harmony Mobile portal (Infiniti Portal on Check Point). 

Then, you configure the user and send them an email containing a QR code for app installation instructions. They download the app from the App Store or Play Store, scan the code, and it configures itself, appearing on the cloud portal. Very quick.

The price is okay. Per user, it should be something like five or ten dollars. But, we usually get discounts that drive the cost down.

It's a very good mobile security solution for protecting phones. It works seamlessly with mobile devices and has good detection capabilities without interrupting your daily phone use. It gives you a lot of visibility into security aspects, including rating every application. 

On the cloud portal, you can see a security rating for every application on the phone and get low-level details of what that application has access to on your phone. Overall, it's a very good solution.

Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten. 

If you're looking for ways to ensure that your mobile is phishing-free and malware-free, then Harmony Mobile is a good choice.

The feature I find the most valuable is the confirmation of all the apps on your mobile, which is clean.

In Harmony Mobile mobile, there is a part for network protection and it actually affects some Messenger apps. For example, in the LINE app, you can receive important messages from friends if you turn on the option in the default settings.

I have been using Harmony Mobile for about two years.

The solution is stable. I have not had any downtime while using it. The management server only controls the policy changes, so even if the management is down, the app works.

It is a scalable solution.

The technical support is great. I would give it an eight out of ten.

Positive

The initial setup was quite easy for me. It was deployed within one day.

I think that the pricing is neither cheap nor expensive. I would say it's average.

Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten just because I think that certain aspects could be improved.

We primarily use the solution for mobile threat defense. We protect our mobile devices with it, due to the fact that SandBlast Mobile detects phishing, malware, et cetera, and all mobile devices.

What I like is that the user experience of your mobile device is not compromised by SandBlast Mobile. The end-user doesn't see anything like an extra app on your device. The app is working in the background, scanning for all kinds of cyberattacks, and seeking out phishing, malware, bots, et cetera. 

Once something is detected, the end-user gets an alert, and can immediately command an action. When they go to open, let's say, a phishing e-mail, they get an alert that says something to the effect of "Beware, this is a phishing mail. Don't open it." The user has the possibility then to open it, however, it would be quite foolish to do so when they are told not to do it. The app gives you very good warnings in terms of malicious attacks.

There is good integration with mobile device management systems.

There is a potential for reporting if you need it.

The solution scales very well.

We've found that the product is quite stable.

Technical support is helpful.

From my perspective, it's a very good product. I can't recall a moment where I thought a feature was missing.

It would be ideal if, one day, this product was bundled into a larger offering so that it's not just a standalone product.

I've been using the solution for three years at this point. It's not so long.

The stability is okay. We haven't had any issues with bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.

In terms of scalability, you can use it very well within an organization. YOu can use it with five devices or a hundred thousand devices. Worldwide, it's used by millions of devices. The scalability potential, therefore, is huge. It's no problem at all if an organization needs to scale it.

Technical support is very good. They are very quick as well. It's fairly easy to talk with them when needed, however, truthfully, you don't need regularly. It works very well as a product. You rarely need to deal with technical support.

From a user's perspective, of course, it is always better when it is cheaper in price. That said, it is a fair price. it's not overly expensive. We find it very reasonable. After all, when you get hit with ransomware or some other malicious program, it can be extremely expensive and comes at a great cost to the company.

We're both a reseller as well as an end-user of the solution. We're partners with Check Point.

The product is in the SaaS environment.

I'd recommend the solution. With cybersecurity on the rise due to COVID, and people working on devices from home, off secure networks, it's important to protect your devices, now more than ever. I'd advise that organizations look at this solution and consider implementing it.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

However, if this solution is right for a company depends on the environment. The capability of the standalone product is very good. 

When there's a supplier who buys Check Point SandBlast Mobile and incorporates it into their larger solution, I will give it a ten out of ten. Then you have a solution that really fits not only your mobile devices but also the security part of your organization. While, right now, it's a great standalone product, there's a lot of possibilities for it when it integrates with a larger security offering.

Our primary use case for using Check Point SandBlast Mobile solution was for securing (Bring your own device) BYOD mobile devices of users. With Check Point SandBlast Mobile we get full visibility of users' mobile activity, like installed apps. Users are only allowed to use permitted applications. We also have blacklisted some malicious URLs. Check Point SandBlast Mobile provides flexibility to BYOD users to access the restricted website as per the time specified by the company policy.

We have deployed for the first time a mobile protection solution in the environment & Check Point SandBlast Mobile worked well. All mobile devices that are connected to the network are monitored and restricted for web surfing as per company policy. With that, users also have the flexibility to use their favorite websites for some time. Device compliance, phishing protection, and all other next-gen features in action were previously not there with the environment. Also, adding a new user is very easy, there is no extra load on the team. 

First, the granular visibility of apps & traffic which we get through Check Point SandBlast Mobile is good. We can see each & every installed app & information for each app about severity & risk.

URL filtering has a wide variety of URL categories to choose from. We can also add whitelist & blacklist domains as per our requirements.

Another great thing about Check Point SandBlast Mobile is the ease of deployment. We can deploy a solution in an hour or two. 

Check Point SandBlast Mobile android application is very easy and simple. The interface & all processes are automated.

When adding users sometimes we were not able to send SMS to users also even after the application user was not visible in the dashboard. Upon troubleshooting, we found that the same user has previously integrated with our old Check Point SandBlast Mobile.

Also, we found configuring device groups & mapping policies is quite confusing. There should be a simpler interface.

Other than this, we did not have any problem as of now. In case of any problem, Check Point tech is always available to help.

I have been using Check Point SandBlast Mobile for one year.

The product is pretty stable, we have not had any problems with stability.

Our experience with Check Point tech is very good as of now. Every time we get a solution to our problem. They have been one of our best tech experiences.

The initial setup is very simple & less time-consuming.

The in-house team implemented the solution.

I was one who implemented the solution & we were not involved with commercials.

The most valuable features of this solution are the: 

• Filtering 
• Interface configuration
• Threat management. 

In terms of what needs improvement, the web interface should be simplified. It should be more user-friendly. It's too technical. 

I have been using Check Point SandBlast Mobile for five years. 

The stability is good. 

Scalability is good. 

Their technical support is okay. We haven't had any issues with them.

I would say that the setup was fairly good enough. 

Check Point has a very high price for certain mid-size installations and some of their competitors have much lower prices. I would say that for big installations Check Point is okay for pricing but for a small-medium installation it's too expensive. Pricing is something else that they could improve. 

I would rate it an eight out of ten. Not a perfect ten because of the pricing and web interface. 

In the next release, I would like for there to be better integration with other products. 

We primarily use the solution for mobile security, which is important in our part of the world. Using SandBlast Mobile, we're able to prove if a traditional antivirus has become embedded in some devices. It helps us to combat cybercrime. We're able to control things like SMS phishing and check for malicious links and malicious application downloads.

For example, if my son downloads Angry Birds, and we don't know if the version he downloaded was malicious, we can trigger SandBlast to check it.

The anti-phishing and scanning of SMS are the most valuable aspects of the solution. Sometimes we will get some SMS and they will try to redirect you to malicious links. If you have SandBlast Mobile, it helps you prevent clicking on those malicious links.

For SandBlast Mobile, the only thing that is lacking is that it wasn't available for all types of users. However, Check Point has since fixed this, with ZoneAlarm. With ZoneAlarm for mobile, it will also direct from the Google Apps, or the Play Store. And then they get to pay for it too. I think it's a very nice solution. 

In terms of features, I believe they really have everything covered. I can't say if anything needs to be added. In this part of the world, we're still trying to bring ourselves up to speed in terms of what works best.

I've been using the solution for three years now.

The stability is very good. I'd rate it four out of five. I'm not sure if there are any shortfalls. I haven't seen any that would make me worry about the stability.

The scalability of the solution is good. I'd rate the solution four out of five.

We've contacted technical support They've been very good. So far, we've been pleased with their level of service.

We didn't previously use a different solution. In terms of mobile technology, it's completely new to me.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's easy to deploy.

I haven't evaluated other options of compared this solution to other available platforms.

We're a distributor of Check Point and Check Point partners. 

We have a good understanding of what kind of security our clients need to stay safe in our country.

We both use it ourselves, so we can demonstrate the solution, and offer it as a solution to our clients. It's easy because it's on mobile so we can show clients on our phone.

I'd advise others to use the solution. It's a modern technology that really combats today's cyber threats on mobile devices.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. In terms of usage, it's given me everything I need. In Nigeria, we don't have many solutions that do what Check Point does.

We use the private cloud deployment model. We use AWS as our cloud provider. Our primary use case is for my users who are mobile. If I want them to connect from wherever they are and build connections to the emails. It's for my management that are usually very mobile.

The usability is the most valuable feature. It's really easy to use. It's a durable solution. I don't have any breaches. It is a good solution from that angle. 

The interface could be more user-friendly. They should improve the look and feel.

I would like to see more meaningful logs in the next release. The way the system is now, it's pretty expensive. 

I've not had an issue with this solution. There were issues when we did it first, there were a few problems with instability. People were not able to log in. But I think it's fine now because now, from a products point of view, it was the best solution.

I'm okay with the scalability. It's flexible enough. I currently have around 400 users. The users are primarily branch managers and top management of the bank.

We don't have any plans to increase the usage as of now. 

Their technical support is good. We don't have any issues with them. Anytime we have a problem, they help us. 

The deployment took around three months. 

We used an integrator for the deployment. We used our partners for the integration and customization. 

We had initial problems because our requirements were not well defined. You should define your use case. You should also look into other options to see what else there is out there and what they offer. 

I would rate it a seven out of ten. 

We use SandBlast to protect our mobile devices, as well as our iPads and Samsung tablets. 

We use SandBlast, internally, as a test bed so we can go out and sell it. The ease of the deployment to users has been key, and most beneficial for us.

The easy deployment is the key for us. I can simply send a link through email to a user, then they install the software and are protected.

I would like to see more visibility into the actual devices that it's protecting. In some cases, you don't want to see a lot. However, for our purposes, I would like to see more information about the applications which are installed, then have more control over what can and what cannot be installed. That would be very useful for us.

The GUI could be a bit more intuitive, as far as going from page to page and understanding what you're looking in the beginning. After you use it for a while, you get used it.

We've had it deployed for about three years now. We have had no hiccups nor issues with it at all going down. Also, we have not experienced any difficulties with it protecting devices.

In terms of the scalability, we have not pushed the limits of the product yet. We only have around 20 users deployed at this time.

We deal directly with the Sales Engineers (SEs) for SandBlast. So, we're not a typical user where we are using technical support from Check Point. Therefore, we haven't used their technical support.

The initial setup was very straightforward, not complex at all. For us, it was simply sending out an email link to our users. They installed it from the App Store, and that's it.

Check Point deployed it for us. The experience was simple and easy. Check Point was helpful, as far as explaining the deployment and showing us how to use the software with the GUI.

I was the administrator of the deployment.

We didn't actually purchase the software. It was given to us by Check Point. We are using it as a test bed for possible future customers. 

I would rate it a nine of ten because of the ease of installing it. Using it on a daily basis, the administration is quite easy. 

I would advise someone considering SandBlast to have some definite use cases in mind before deploying it. That way you can deploy it very specifically towards what you are going to be using it for.
